Is Swimming the Perfect Exercise?

The
benefits of swimming are well known. Aerobic, low impact, easy on the joints, enjoyed by
young and old alike. Athletes have for years utilized swimming to aid
in injury recovery, to stay strong and to maintain fitness. Let’s
briefly look at some other benefits of swimming courtesy of
LifeHack.org's Sarah
Hansen.

• Swimming
Improves Muscle Definition and Strength

Swimmers
gain muscle strength throughout the entire body. It’s a total body
workout.

• Swimming
Builds Up Bone Mass

Rats
were
put in three groups: running, swimming, and a control group with no
exercise stimulation. While running still showed the highest increase
in Bone Mineral Density, the swimming group also showed benefits over
the control group in both BMD and femoral bone weight.

• Swimming
Helps You Stay Flexible

Swimming
requires you to reach, stretch, twist, and pull your way through the
water. Repetitive stretching found in your various strokes also helps
with flexibility.

• Swimming
Reduces Inflammation

Research
also indicates aerobic activities, such as swimming, reduce
inflammation that leads to
atherosclerosis
build-up in the heart.

• Swimming
Holds Its Own for Calories Burned

Did
you
realize swimming
can be just as efficient as running on the treadmill. Depending on
the stroke you choose and your intensity, swimming can burn equal or
greater calories than running.

• Swimming
Can Improve Exercise-Induced Asthma

Swimming
allows you to breath moist air while you train. Not only does
swimming help alleviate asthma symptoms, studies have shown that it
can actually improve the overall condition of the lungs.

• Swimming
Lowers Stress and Depression

Swimming
is calming and meditative, as the sound of your breathing and the
water rushing by helps you focus inward and drown out all other
distractions. This lowers stress and depression naturally.

• Swimming
Can Make You Smarter

Exercise
is great for the mind, but can swimming actually make you smarter?
Research
from Australia focused on kids who took swimming lessons compared to
a control group of non-swimmers. The results showed that kids who
regularly participated in swimming were able to master language
development, fine motor skills, confidence, and physical development
sooner than the control group.

• Swimming
May Just Lengthen Your Life

Researchers
at the University of South Carolina looked at 40,547 men, aged 20 to
90, for over 32 years. The results showed that those who swam had a
50 percent lower death rate than runners, walkers, or men who didn’t
exercise.

So
there you have it. Live a longer, healthier life by incorporating swimming into your fitness efforts. Swimming is great fun and great for you.
